PETKIT Cat Water Fountain, EVERSWEET 2S, 2L Ultra-Quiet Drinking Fountain for Cats and Dogs with LED Indicator for Water Shortage & Filter Replacement, Two Flow Modes, Anti-Dry Design, Filter Included

Product Information

This elegant, low-slung water fountain has two drinking areas—a freshly-aerated pool and a bubbling river. It’s one of the smallest fountains on the list, carrying 60 ounces of water. This is plenty enough for one cat, but if you’d like a larger fountain, consider Pioneer Pet’s 96-ounce raindrop fountain. In terms of purification, the fountain uses an activated carbon filter to reduce impurities in the water, and the introduction of an ion-exchange resin aims to capture any heavy metal ions in the water to help soften it for a better quality drink. Lastly, the system is built with a microscopic nylon strainer, ideal for catching any stray pet hairs, food residue or other nasties that have made their way into the water tank.

With a 70-ounce water capacity, this fountain is on the smaller side, but it’s large enough to satisfy the needs of most cat-only households. What We Liked: I ran each of the fountains one by one, taking note of their noise output. I listened for a motor hum and any splashing sounds. The sound of the Eversweet 2, NPET, and Cat Mate fountains was almost imperceptible, while the Catit and Pioneer Pet fountains both hummed faintly as they ran. Though still quiet, the PetSafe Drinkwell Platinum was the loudest of the bunch, producing a distinct hum that you could hear from across the room. It was also the only water fountain with noticeable water noise. Cat Appeal One thing worth mentioning about this fountain is the filter. It is made from ion exchange resin and activated carbon. The carbon filter is paired with high-density cotton, which performs the function of a pre-filter. Like the Petlibro, the NPET filters water after it passes through the drinking bowl. On the whole, the Petkit Smart Pet Drinking Fountain is received very well by its customers – by cats, dogs, and their owners! The Pioneer Pet Raindrop was the outlier in this test. After running all night, the fountain looked the same as it did at the beginning of the test—the hair was still floating in the drinking bowl.But it’s not the best option for everyone. We bought and tested five water fountains and identified where each one’s strengths and weaknesses lie. Whether you’re focused on budget, need a stainless-steel fountain to fight acne, or have both dogs and cats in the home, there’s something here for you. Why Buy a Cat Water Fountain? The Pioneer Pet Teardrop white porcelain model gets a scale (I live in hard water Mountain West) that I can feel (not see) so I will soak it in a diluted vinegar solution and rub until the surface is smooth and I can no longer feel the scale with my fingertips. The filter is in the motor unit and the motor should be disassembled/cleaned somewhat frequently. (Not too difficult and the more you do it, the easier it seems.) I used this model long enough to replace the motor (after 2-3 years) and then the replacement motor stopped working and I replaced the model with Cat-It. When hygiene is a priority, stainless steel water fountains like this one are your best option. Compared to plastic, stainless steel is less likely to collect bacteria and other contaminants. When it gets scummy, the fountain is a cinch to disassemble and safe to pop into the dishwasher, making cleaning almost completely effortless for cat owners.

This ultra-quiet water fountain is one of the most affordable choices on this list and an all-around good option for budget pet owners. It’s the only water fountain on this list with a three-year warranty, giving you peace of mind in case something goes wrong years down the road. Hi,Unfortunately, it’s not working; I’ve tried everything, but nothing works. This is my configuration: Configuration.yaml # Loads default set of integrations. Do not remove. In conjunction with the Petkit Eversweet 2’s three-level filtration system, this energy management system allows the filters to last longer than those in most water fountains. If used in Smart Mode, you’ll have to replace the carbon filter once every three months. Most water fountains recommend filter replacement once every two to four weeks. Just wanted to share a new custom component (integration) that I have been working on for PetKit devices (smart pet feeders, litter boxes, water fountain). It has a compact square design with several different levels and drinking stations. Water cascades down from the top bowl into a second level, then tumbles down a ramp into the bottom basin. The ramp reduces splashing and reduces water noise. Speaking of noise, this is one of the quietest water fountains we’ve tried. The motor produces a faint, almost imperceptible, hum, while the water makes barely a sound.The best cat water fountains provide fresh running water for a week or more, employ smart filtration systems, don’t have a lot of fiddly parts, and are a cinch to clean. How We Tested: Cat water fountains are an excellent tool for boosting your cat’s hydration, but they don’t always fit where you want them to. Most cat water fountains use a power cord, which means you’ll have to find a spare outlet in a location your cat tends to frequent. Getting up-to-date info and controlling PetKit water fountains requires having the BLE relay enabled in the PetKit app (requires a compatible PetKit device that can connect to the bluetooth-only water fountain). They have a good carbon filter and prefilter. All high-quality water fountains contain a carbon filter, which captures odors and small particles. Most also feature a prefilter, which captures larger debris before it can reach the carbon foam filter and a submersible pump. By protecting the filter and pump, prefilters help extend the life of your water dispenser without the need for replacement filters.

The drinking fountain itself has two modes – Smart Mode and Normal Mode. While Normal Mode has the fountain dish constantly full with water (great for pets that get thirsty at night), the Smart Mode uses light technology to assess how much water to allow to well depending on the time of day. Not only does this prevent undrunk water sitting in the well overnight, but saves energy too. With indicator lights letting you know when the water is low and when it’s time to change the filter, this is a helpful little device that makes water fountain management easy. When it’s time to wash the Petkit Eversweet 2, it’s easy to pull apart the nested components and pop the plastic parts into the dishwasher. What We Liked: All the monitoring and control you’d ever want for your litter boxes and some details that are not even presented in the PetKit app. The fountain’s easy assembly, whimsical design, and low price have made the Catit Flower Fountain a perennial favorite among cat guardians.By virtue of its plastic construction, the fountain isn’t as hygienic as a ceramic or stainless steel unit. Though it’s easy to disassemble and easy to clean by hand, Catit doesn’t say the fountain is dishwasher-safe. Many customers, however, say they’ve successfully cleaned it in a dishwasher. Surprisingly, our most expensive option—the PetSafe Drinkwell Platinum—would likely be the most economical over time. With this water fountain you can choose from two water modes. Continuous flow mode creates a 24/7 flow of fresh water while radar induction mode activates the flow only when your cat is detected within 80cm (31.5 inches). In radar induction mode, flow is activated for 20 seconds every hour as well. The remaining bytes depend on the type of message and the required payload. For the regular advertised device information (command = 230), this is the interpretation of each byte for the Eversweet Pro 3 water fountain on the latest firmware: # 1-3 Header (CMD vs Stream)

Many customers unite under the common thread that it has become a genuinely useful addition to their home. As the water fountain automatically refills the water well, it has proven to be a hands-off way of ensuring that your pet has access to all the fresh water they need – something that’s especially useful for a busy household. Another thing, is it normal that when I add the Petkit integration, it responds: This device cannot be added from the user interface You can add this device by adding it to your ‘configuration.yaml’ file. See the documentation for more information." In addition to testing the fountains’ ability to capture hair, I tested their carbon filters by dropping peppermint extract into the clean water and waiting for the filters to neutralize the taste and odor. All of the water fountains performed well in this test, eliminating the mint taste and smell within a few hours. Maintenance CostsThey’re made from hygienic materials. Stainless steel and ceramic are non-porous and less likely to capture bacteria, making them the cleanest materials for water fountains. Other materials—namely plastic—may collect bacteria, promote chin acne, and might need to be cleaned more frequently. Signs that your cat might appreciate a pet water fountain include drinking water from the toilet or bathroom faucet and playing with streams of fresh water. It’s made from BPA-free plastic but doesn’t have the robust feel of the Eversweet 2 or the Catit Flower Fountain. Instead, the plastic is lightweight and slightly flexible.
